do you have any traction issues?

lca's, relocation brackets, and torque arm would be a good start

yes!

get a shorter torque arm that mounts to the body too! Tie it into a rollbar if you can because the floorpan is weak.

he said that this is a street/strip car, so a shorter torque arm can cause issues when driven on the street.....if it's a street-driven car, i highly recommend just getting a full-length adjustable torque arm and a torque arm relocation bracket to take the mounting point off the transmission.
